The president reiterated that Tehran and Abu Dhabi should further expand their interactions in all spheres, urging enhanced ties between the two Persian Gulf states.
He also praised the brotherly ties between the two nations, noting that minor disputes could not affect existing relations.
Moreover, the Iranian president called on the regional states to expand cooperation in efforts to defuse persisting enemy plots in the strategic region.
